Model R96 Non-contact Radar Transmitter
The Pulsar® Model R96 is a loop-powered, 24 VDC, non-contact radar level transmitter. It has a longer measurement range, improved diagnostics and is easier to use than most loop-powered radar transmitters. Operating Principle PULSAR transmitter technology is based on pulse-burst radar technology together with equivalent time sampling circuitry. Short bursts of 6 GHz microwave energy are emitted and subsequently reflected from the liquid level surface.
Applications
Media:
- Liquids and Slurries
- Hydrocarbons to Water-Based Media
Vessels:
